The INST team, led by Dr. Aviru Basu, has developed a 3D-printed scaffold made from biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA)—a ...

Inspired Purifier (WHIP) offers a novel, sustainable solution for water purification, effectively degrading pollutants using ...

Researchers have developed "nanofibrous blankets" that float on contaminated water, using sunlight to break down pollutants.

The low-cost and effective interaction of hydrogels with pollutants has drawn significant interest in the wastewater treatment domain. This study aims to explore a novel, biodegradable superabsorbent ...

In this work, we developed a facile one-step pyrolysis method for preparing porous ZnO/biochar nanocomposites (ZBCs) with a large surface area to enhance the removal efficiency of dye from aqueous ...

Health influencers – perhaps including Health Secretary RFK Jr. – are promoting the chemical as an elixir that improves memory and focus. But evidence for these claims is thin.

Over the past five or 10 years, methylene blue has come to be touted online as a so-called nootropic agent—a substance that enhances cognitive function. Vendors claim that it amps up brain ...

Claims about methylene blue are alluring, ... Methylene blue was first synthesised in 1876 as a dye for textiles and was valued for its intense colour and ability to bind well to fabrics.

Methylene blue is a synthetic dye that exists as a dark green powder and takes on a deep blue color when dissolved in water. My work and that of others suggest that many synthetic dyes widely used ...
